onion Services

The Presbyterians of Richmond gathered
in full force at the Second church at that city
Sunday morning Union services are being
held in the Second church, and all the Pres
hyte,ian ministers of the city were present.
After The usual preliminary exercises, Rev
J. CALVIN Stewart, of Alexandria, now pas
tor Of the Fourth Presbyte Church, who
delivered the sermon OF the morning, an
nounced Us his text Psalm cxVi.: II, Is !;
What shall l render unto the Lord for ali
His benefits toward me? l will take the
cup of salvation and call upon the name of
the Lord" In opening the discourse the
speaker alluded to the origin and growth
of the day of thanksgiving. In this country
its earliest observance was in the New Eng
land States, but set seasons of thanksgiving
greatly antedate the early days Of the Uni.
ted States, for the Greeks had their days of
rejoicing aud thanks, while Gods ancient
people. the Hebrews, were notably given
to seasons of joy. praise, and thanks.
giving to convenant.keeping God.
The speaker had but little sympathy
with the observance of this day as a
day of feasting, but heartily comm ended it as
day Of religious Thanksgiving and of
sweet family reunions. The growth and
prosperity of the people were dwelt upon
most eloquently by the speaker and abund
ant reasons for thanksgiving we're warmly
urged. Our great duty as Christian ma
ton is to give ourselves to the evangeliza-
ton of the people-not only those within
our borders, but the vast hosts that arc
flocklng hither from other lands each day
hundreds of thousands every year. The
safety and stability of this great nation de-
peuds upon bringing the influence of the
gospel of Gods dear Soa to bear upon this
Incoming multitude, that it may be truly
christ:anized. Il will take the cup of sal
vation." The word cup" signifies wealth,
and Gods people should take their wealth,
and call upon the name of the Lord. The
wealth of this couatry is simply startling.
The old countries Of the world are rich;
but this country, in the morning of its life
time, far exceeds them in its gathered treas.
ures, and to day we could buy Russia, Nor
way. Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Italy,
Australia, South America and South Africa,
with all their poas essions. How shall these
enormous riches be uaed-for the gratifca-
ton of the pampered tastes of the possessors
or for the advancement OF Gods kingdom?
o let us take this full cup of salvation and
hold it to the lips Of The perishing around
US, end spread the glad tidings of salvation
GU: land aud the world. Let
" cons ecrate wealth. strength, talents, and
all to lead the world to Christ and plant the
OF the Crcss IN every land.

soon after which he claimed to have been
